House Sitting in Kenilworth

“Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.”

“I was terrified about finding someone to watch my little Velcro baby. But Rebeca put me at ease. Her communication with me and love she gave my baby is beyond what I could have expected. I am so happy to have book with Rebeca and next time I am in Chicagoland I will definitely book with her again! Thank you Rebeca!!!”

“Keeley took such great care of Finn and really helped ease my worries about leaving him alone for the weekend. We actually got home a little early and had the chance to spend some time chatting with her before she left, which was so nice. Finn absolutely adored her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would definitely trust her with him again!”

Brittany G.

“She did a great job and was very trustworthy and I had no issues with her house sitting. My puppy was very calm with her.”

“Samantha was a wonderful sitter! You can tell that she genuinely loves dogs, and she was very responsive and professional. Our dogs loved her, and so did we!”

Jen A.

“Jason was so awesome with our young golden retriever. Took tons of great photos and kept her happy all weekend. Super communicative and the house was in perfect shape on our return. I will def book him again if given the chance!”

“Emily was incredible. She didn’t just watch my dog, she cared for him like he was her own and treated my home with the same thoughtfulness and respect. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with her. She played with him, took him on walks and runs, and gave him all the snuggles and attention he could possibly want. She sent tons of photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. But what really made her stand out is how considerate she was with my home. Everything was spotless when I returned, and she even stayed until I got back so he didn’t have to be alone. I walked into a sweet welcome note and fresh flowers, such a thoughtful touch and a truly warm homecoming. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is attentive, trustworthy, incredibly kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!.”

“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious dog Churro! My house was spotless when I got home and she sent regular photos and updates, and handled his medication schedule too. He was happy and well cared for all week. Churro and I look forward to working with Tiffany again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, mostly chihuahuas and rescues, so I’m very comfortable with pups who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or understanding. My hands-on experience goes far beyond casual pet care. At Miami University, I was part of Paws for a Cause, where we helped train dogs to prepare them for working with children or future companion roles. This gave me a strong foundation in obedience training, reading body language, and supporting dogs with different temperaments. More recently, I’ve been volunteering with the Evanston Animal Shelter, working with dogs who have a wide range of behaviors and needs. There, I’ve assisted with medication administration, training sessions, enrichment, and helping nervous or high-energy dogs feel more comfortable and confident. I’m also on a path toward becoming a Physician Assistant, which adds to my calm, attentive, and health-focused approach. I’m comfortable managing routines, monitoring for changes, and making sure each dog feels safe and cared for. Overall, I bring a mix of lifelong experience, formal training exposure, shelter work, and genuine love for dogs of all personalities. Your pet will be treated with patience, structure, and plenty of affection. I work full-time as a medical scribe during the day (9–5), so evenings, weekends, and holidays are when I’m most available for pet care. During those times, I’m fully focused on your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. My schedule outside of work is very flexible, so I can reliably fit in consistent visits or longer stays. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, crate routines, and any training cues you use. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality, comfort level, and boundaries so they feel safe and relaxed. I provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and calm companionship, and I always keep water fresh, watch for behavior changes, and send regular updates so you feel connected. If I’m hosting in my home (or doing extended stays), I make sure pets have a quiet, clean space to settle in, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and a consistent routine. Safety is a top priority, doors secured, no access to anything unsafe, and lots of supervised time. Whether I’m in your home or mine, your pet gets patient, reliable care with the goal of making them feel comfortable, understood, and well-loved.

“First time using Donna and Stephen and we were very happy. We have several senior pets on meds, including an old lady dog with several medical conditions who is very suspicious of strangers. All critters did well, got all their meds correctly and on time, and we were provided daily detailed updates with photos. Would recommend!”

Margaret B.

“Iwona and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my diabetic pug. He requires daily insulin and eye meds, and they were careful about following the instructions perfectly. They kept me up to date, sent pics, and left my place clean. I highly recommend and trust them.”

Melinda G.

“We recently used Ella for the first time. During her stay our dog needed immediate care due to a bladder stone blocking his urinary tract. Ella did a great job recognizing the signs, communicating with me, and taking our dog to the ER. We are lucky she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure he received the care he needed.”

Maggie R.

“Katherine was fantastic with my dog! She was attentive, communicative, asked great questions to figure out what was needed, and followed through on everything. She also went above and beyond on providing updates and taking care of my place while sitting the dog. I'd be happy to book with her again!”

Lou N.

“Heath took great care of my dog Billy and is a great communicator!! Billy is happy as ever!!”

About: I’m naturally very active, so if your dog loves long walks and plenty of playtime, they’ll have a great workout buddy with me. At the same time, I’m super patient and adaptable to whatever your pet needs. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals with different traits and can definitely meet your needs! Because I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule, pet care easily fits right into my daily routine. I can structure my shifts around your dog's specific needs, I have plenty of open windows to make your pet a top priority throughout the week. Whether I’m hosting your dog or staying at your place, my goal is to keep their routine exactly how they like it. For active pups, that means plenty of long walks and fresh air to burn off energy, while puppies get consistent potty breaks and training support. If you have a senior dog, I focus on a quiet, stress-free environment and precise feeding schedules. I adapt completely to your pet's needs.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet and house sitter. When I first met Mer, she was clearly experienced and comfortable with Walter (he can come on a little strong since he loves visitors) but she wasn’t intimidated at all. Mer took the time to understand Walters routines and quirks (he has many) which immediately made me feel comfortable about trusting her with my big 90 pound baby. While I was away, we kept in touch so I knew Walter was well cared for. The photos looked like they were having a great time! Mer treated my home and my dog with kindness and respect, as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend Mer and will be booking her again next trip.”

“Katie is a fantastic cat & housesitters. We could tell at our meet & greet that she was VERY attentive and responsive. Our home was in terrific shape when we returned home and the cats were happy. You can't go wrong with Katie. She's absolutely first rate!”

Mary H.

“Coty is the best. She took great care of our special needs dog. She sent pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing. She administered eye drops and all of his medication. We were able to relax and feel good that our dog was in great, caring hands.”

About: I am currently a college student who loves animals. I have a dog and three cats at home, and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past, so I’m very experienced with pets. While I am newer to house sitting, I am definitely not new to loving and caring for our furry friends! I work part time so I am available multiple times every day. I can stop by homes in the morning before work, and then after work in the afternoon and evening. I walk my dog and he loves our fenced in yard. I also am accustomed to feeding and cleaning litter boxes. And of course, care, love and attention are important every day!

“Tasha was very patient with our dog and cat, she kept us updated and sent us videos/pictures as needed. She did a fantastic job at keeping us informed throughout the day. Highly recommended!!”
